I was registering until I read the bottom. Does anyone know if they will reschedule if it rains? It sounds like you'll be SOL.

Stock cars are getting near or over 190 at this point. Not a lot of people going to chop up a car for what it can do from the factory or with very minor modifications. Anyways, which is safer? A car like the GT with an aluminum space frame that broke the roof crush machine during validation, or one of these glorified bathtubs some dude brings out with some tubing he bolted in? Texas Mile exempted us up to 230 mph.

I'm glad our event made it to Motown Muscle, its hard trying to keep track of all the forums. But, i have been an irregular member here for a while and i probably still know a few members.
To answer the question you raised. 1. We will run as long as the air field is safe to do so.We tolerate light rain, but a downpour and the race is off till we dry the track. For many such events, this is the case. You can't do much about mother nature. We only hold our event once a year, so it's impossible to schedule any make-up dates prior to the next event. 2. We won't be rich off this event anytime soon, all the funds we raise go right back out the door to pay the bills associated with running this event. Matter of fact, it cost me hundreds out of my personal pocket, even after all 62 cars signed up last year and sponsors. So, we can't offer refunds or anything like that. This is also very typical of other such events around the world. So, if you have any additional questions, hit me up. [email protected]

I agree. Many cars are capable of doing 200+ mph or near it from the factory. The competition of it all is that your speed must be reached in one mile. It is very hard to do even with a 200+ certified car, they don't tell you it took 5 miles on an oval to get it done. Texas Mile runs an exotic class in which cages and such are substituted because the car was designed to travel at elevated speeds. We have not done that yet, but we only had one car break 200 thus far.
